When you do the final stitching you have to check off what kind of
output you want. By default it will give you a jpg or tiff, but if
you look further down the stitching page you will find "High
dynamic range merged stacks".<br>
<br>
That being said, I don't think that this is what you think it is.
That will output a HDR file which is an image that contains a lot
more light data than can be viewed directly in an image viewer.
They are used heavily in programs like blender or in video games.<br>
<br>
What you are looking for is called tone mapping where you compress a
broader level of light data into a visible space, which is what
LuminanceHDR does.<br>
<br>
I would stick with LuminanceHDR and just use it's interface to hugin
to align images properly.<br>
<br>
doing it the other way around you would still have to load the HDR
file that hugin makes into LuminanceHDR so that you could get a
visible image out of it.<br>
<br>
All that being said, you could select the "Exposure fused stack"
option in hugin and get an HDR image, but you have little to no
control of how the output will look, so you are better off using
LuminanceHDR again.<br>
